Ed, Intelligencer: As We have
not yet heard where our Teachers
Institute is to be held, we will give
some of our reasons for thinking
that this is the most desirable
place that could be selected.
In the first place it is our county
seat, and the largest town in the
county; there are more people here,
more commodious buildings and
especially more professional nea.
lawyers. physicians. ministers and
Others, whose opinions upon any
disputed points connected with their
professions can always be readily
obtained, as they take great inter.

pleasure and profit derived there-

Secondly, Romney 10 not -
cloze to the western edge Of the
county Ne many think-it is eight
miles from here to the Mineral
line. Divide the county into two
parts by a line from Paw Paw
through Pleasant Dale to Rio.
The section west of this line is far
larger than that east of il, and we
should think the teachers living
therein would prefer coming to
Romney, as it is about as close as
Capon Bridge.
Thirdly, We have railroad

line to Jersey Mountain will 20 to

AN APPEAL.

The State Historical Society of
of Wisconsin has been assiduously ac
cumulating Rebellion and Slavery
literature for quarter of century
past, and believes that it now has one
of the finest collections of the kind in
the United States. Yet doubtless its
catalogue will fall into the hands Of
many citizens of the state who will
find that the library lacks some old
book or pamphlet, Illustrating these
topics, which are either in their pos
session or with which they are famil-
lar. The Society, which is, in this
matter acting as the trustee of the
commonwealth, urgently appeals to
the generosity and patriotism of such
citizens to donate such rarities TO its
Ebrary,-or at least, 10 send TO
the socicty's officers statements of the
titles and characters of the ' orks, =
thereby increasing It's streng,n in an
Important branch of America history.
Books and pamphlets, manuscl pts of
every sort, old newspapers ano news
paper clippings, scrap boo,,,s 'nd mis-
celaneous relics,-anything, in short,
that may illustrate the Rebellion
epoch, especially the part that Wis
eonsin men played in it, Will be thank
fully received and formally acknow-
lodged in the Society's annual report
Such relics are liable 10 accident and
loss, in the homes Of their owners,
but in the State Historical Society's
iire-proof apartments this danger is
reduced to minimum Thirty thou
sand persons annually visit the So
ciety's rooms and use its enormous
library of 125,0OO books and pamph-
lets. A donation to its collections,
therefore, is practically an imperish-
able gift to the people of the state.

-Howard's Life of Henry Ward

-Howard's Life of Henry Ward
Beecher" has been issued and it fully
meets the expectation which awaited
it. 1t is remarkably bright and in
teresting book, coming as it does, from
one of the most accomplished of Jour
nalists, and concerning as it does, one
Of the brightest of men.
One of the most remarkable features
is, that it gives US an insight into Mr..
Beecher's own mind and heart, such
rs nothing but the breathing of his in
most nature to his most trusted and
lifelong friends could fit an author to
present. With the family of the ven
cradle Deacon Howard (the authors
father, who brought Mr. Beechcr to
Brooklyn, and who stood by him as a
brother until his death, he kept I'D
daily Intercourse, or when absent, a
voluminous correspondence. In all
this he breathed into their sympathet-
ic natures his Utmost feelings, whether
Of trial or triumph, lofty aspiration or
great endeavor, and such letters it is
hardly likely can be found elsewhere
on the earth. They contribute i'm
menseI y to the interest and value of
this book (and this only) picturing the
great divine rs no other man can pct
ure him to-day. These sketches writ
ten in many moods, with the utmost
trankness and freedom, and in many
lands, reveal this foremost American
citizen i'll new and unexpected lights.
The author Of this book has also
been able from his intimate knowledge
of Mr. Beecher's affairs to giyeus most
interesting facts concerning his enor-
nous income for forty years; also of
his expenses, gifts, library, art treas
ures, paintings precious stones, opin-
ions of distinguished men, etc, etc.,
matters not likely to be found IN any
other life that may be written.
This is i'll truth unique book;
most ably prepared and full of inter
est from first TO finale. 1t contains a
perfect portrait in steel, and many
other beautiful illustrations, and in
Typography, paper, and binding is a
superior book we'll worthy of an i'm
mense circulation.

VIM. \. Wheeler was a self-made
man in the strictest sense and like the
martyr, Garfield, began life as a
country school teacher He was the
first principal Of the public schools of
his native town, Malone, n. Y He
began his political career as state SEN
ator from his district and was after
wards sent to congress for three con-
secutiye terms. His election to the
vice-presidency on the ticket with r.
B. Hayes followed, and after serving
his term he retired to Malone, and de-
clined to accept further political hon
ors. His failing health dates from
death of his wife one month prior to
his election to the yice-presidency,
having meyer since been the same
man. Soon after his inauguration his
only remaining relative, a sister, died ,
and he therefore passed away without
leaving Lying relative in the world.
He was a public bcncfactor, and dur
ing lis prosperity gave literally to all
public institutions, and his estate is
not thought to be very large It wi |
probably 90 to the First Congregational
church of Malone, Of which Mr..
Wheeler was a deyout member and
liberal supporter
